and fuel fabrication plants that produced radioactive wastes until 1997, at

which time the last of these facilities were decommissioned.Presently

waste is produced as a result of the decommissioning of these facilities.

Eskom’s Koeberg nuclear power plant produces spent fuel and

operational radioactive waste.

Research and development
facilities

NECSA’s
Safari research reactor at Pelindaba produces spent fuel andoperational waste.Radioactive waste is produced from radio-isotopes production
activities at NECSA. The National
Accelerator Centre (NAC) also produces radioactive waste. Historically waste has been produced by various research activities.
